Yi Yi, who had just felt that she had changed, suddenly became furious.

"I'm considered narrow-minded if I don't forgive you? You've harmed me several times. The first time, you had me intercepted and assaulted, but Gu Nanxun saved me in time. The second time was even worse; you kidnapped me, poured water on me, electrocuted me, and even set me on fire. If my friends and Gu Nanxun hadn't arrived in time, I would be dead by now! You've done so many bad things, why should I forgive you with just an apology? Go talk to the police and see if they agree!"

Yi Yi grew angrier as she spoke, saying that humanity has one of the biggest flaws: double standards. They treat themselves and others with completely different standards, and never consider things from another person's perspective.

For example, if someone can't do something on their own, it's a problem with society, with others, with the system, and so on. But if someone else can't do it, it's their own problem, and so on...

For example, if someone donates 1 million yuan to society, there will always be some people who can't stand seeing others do well who will say things like, "You earn so much money and only donate so little. You don't know how to give back to society. You have no conscience." But if you ask them to donate 10 yuan, they will refuse with all sorts of seemingly "legitimate" reasons. For example, they say they are poor, that society is unfair to them, or that they think donating is just a formality, etc.

Ah, humanity...

Xia Bingqing probably didn't expect Yi Yi to be so excited, so she quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I know, I was just too eager to be your friend, and I said those things in a moment of impatience. Please don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry, I don't have that much free time to fuss over everything."

Yi Yi lowered her head and took a sip of the tea in her cup. "It's so hot!"

How can freshly boiled water not be scalding?

In front of the two of them was a kettle of boiling water.

Xia Bingqing smiled awkwardly, a glint of shrewdness suddenly flashing in her eyes.

She pretended to reach for the teapot, but Yi quickly stopped her, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I just wanted to pour myself a cup of tea."

"Isn't there some in your cup?" Yi asked suspiciously.

"The servant put too much tea leaves in the tea just now. I don't like drinking such strong tea."

So pretentious.

"Then tell me how much tea you want, and I'll brew it for you."

"No need, just hand me the teapot, I can do it myself. Only I know how much tea leaves and how much water to put in."

Uh~

Yi Yi's face was full of black lines, and she could hardly see her eyes. How do you even know how much tea leaves and how much water there are?

So, Yi Yi took another cup and carefully handed the teapot handle to Xia Bingqing.

"Be careful..."

Xia Bingqing took the teapot, her entire hand enveloped in scalding steam.

If a pot of boiling water were poured on someone, their skin would definitely be severely scalded, leaving scars. If that pot of water were "accidentally" poured onto someone's face, even the most beautiful face would be ruined.

It's time to show off my shaky hands.

Xia Bingqing smiled slightly, while Yi Yi, sitting opposite her, was intently drinking tea.

This is a good opportunity...

Xia Bingqing picked up the teapot, exclaimed "Oops!" and was about to "accidentally" spill the full pot of water onto the other person.

"Roar~ Roar~"

Just then, a deafening roar rang out from outside the courtyard. The entire ground seemed to tremble.
